Pleased to be recognized as one of the most effective lawmakers in Congress by the Center for Effective Lawmaking. Whether it’s fighting for working people, funding for hospitals, housing & infrastructure, or standing up for Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid, I’m ready to keep going for Memphis.

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/h... The world and its exposure to bird flu and children and their exposure to malaria and other life-threatening illnesses must contribute to the tax breaks for the millionaires and billionaires. We need to get the richest of the rich their dividend from electing Trump

Trump Signs Executive Order to Overhaul Voting - The Wall Street Journal. When the Republican Party was not led by an authoritarian oligarch they believed in states rights. They even believed in Congress.

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/u... I would Senator Duckworth. They all should go ! The fact is none of them should’ve ever been where they were. Republican senators, who confirmed them should be calling for their resignations. To paraphrase Jimmy Breslin, this is the gang who couldn’t shoot straight
Democrats Call for Hegseth and Waltz to Resign
Some Republican lawmakers have called for an investigation, but most have shied away from criticizing the Trump administration.

New reporting confirms it: The Trump administration is deliberately sabotaging Social Security customer service. Longer wait times. Fewer staff. Closed offices. All to frustrate Americans into accepting privatization. That’s not “draining the swamp.” That’s gutting your retirement.
Social Security is telling its staff that customer service is about to get a lot worse
Some beneficiaries will now have to confirm their identities in-person to claim Social Security. SSA staff say it's bad news for low-income Americans.

Maybe Trump now knows he should have appointed people smarter than him. Not a very high threshold yet….

In a shocking oversight, top U.S. officials mistakenly texted war plans to one of Trump’s most-hated journalists, The Atlantic revealed today. The bombshell report showed a lengthy thread on the messaging app Signal about the logistics of a military strike on Houthi targets in Yemen on March 14.

Republicans are trying to destroy Social Security. Shrink the staff, shrink the services, overwhelm the offices, drive it into the ground—then privatize it. That's the plan. Even GOP voters at my Town Hall meeting were saying this isn't what they voted for... but it is. ⬇️

Seems a good guy gone awol. Loyalty to billionaire sociopath rather than a conscience and values. He will regret what he has done but it will be too late and his “God” won’t give a hoot.

Social security is being undermined with personnel cuts, office closures, and the elimination of phone service which will impede seniors and people with disabilities. They want to privitize it for Wall Street’s benefit. This is the criminal immoral conduct of Trump Musk and obeisance of Republicans

Couture: 700 billion in fraud that only he could find, yet hasn't produced the receipts… this is all about undermining your confidence in the program’s legitimacy so they can raid that trust fund

As we recognize Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, I’m proud to stand with my friend @repcohen.bsky.social to introduce bipartisan legislation that would finally provide federal funding to research cerebral palsy, the most common life-long physical disability impacting Americans today.
